Founded in 1960, Young Americans for Freedom was the national conservative youth organization for more than 30 years. YAF helped forge the conservative movement into a force that seized control of a party, elected one of their own to the presidency, and in the process changed the world.
This is the first comprehensive history of YAF, from which also came 27 Members of Congress, eight U.S. Circuit Court judges, a Vice President of the U.S., numerous media personalities and journalists, college presidents and professors, authors and many leaders of the major conservative and libertarian organizations in the U.S. today.
A Generation Awakes traces American political history from the Goldwater campaign to campus activism and the war in Vietnam, to the campaigns of Ronald Reagan and the development of think tanks and policy organizations in DC. An essential resource for understanding 20th century American politics.
